Chapter 184: Four Years

...

Robbery?

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the troublemakers trio become stunned, but Flender, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong also became stunned.

How did the target of trouble suddenly become reversed?

Looking at Zeng Yi's expression, they felt that he wasn't joking, he was serious.

"Hehe, brother, please don't joke. Does it look like we have money?" one big man apologized to Zeng Yi with a low voice.

Just now, Zeng Yi's sword was instantly cut by a giant tree twenty meters away. With such strength, they couldn't afford to provoke him.

Looking at the young age of the few of them, they are easy to handle, but who could have thought that they would encounter a big problem.

Who could have thought that this extraordinary-looking young man would actually do such a rogue thing as robbery?

Didn't you see the surprised and strange looks from those two beauties? As a man, doing such a thing in front of them, aren't you afraid of ruining their impression of you?

I thought girls nowadays liked that kind of bad boy?

"Joke?"

Zeng Yi held the sword in front of him and flicked the shiny blade with his finger.

Dang~

A clear and trembling sound echoed, and the sound waves reverberated in the vicinity, shaking everyone's mind.

Looking at the trio, Zeng Yi's pitch-black and deep eyes were filled with indifference and ruthlessness.

"Sorry, I'm not joking with you. Either money or death!"

From the soul power emitted by these people, Zeng Yi didn't feel any pressure. A normal Soul Elders with two Soul Ancestors, he could easily control them.

Outside of the academy, Zeng Yi wouldn't be so easy to talk to in the world of soul masters. Zeng Yi wouldn't be merciful to enemies, let alone in this dangerous place where soul masters gathered. How many of them are good people? If they dare to rob and attack people on the street, even if they were drunk, so what? Getting drunk only exposes their instincts, but dare we say they haven't done such things before?

Even if he killed them, Zeng Yi wouldn't have any psychological burden. The world of soul masters is originally a world where survival of the fittest, and being kind here is being cruel to oneself.

As soon as Zeng Yi finished speaking, everyone's hearts trembled. From this cold voice, they could hear the icy killing intent, making even their souls tremble.

If they didn't follow, they really might die!

Zhu Zhuqing was fine because she had seen Zeng Yi's cold and ruthless appearance before, like a hellish god of slaughter. But for Ning Rongrong and Flender, it was as if they had just met Zeng Yi for the first time. Their eyes were full of shock.

Seeing Zeng Yi's cold and ruthless appearance for the first time, they were still unfamiliar with the killing intent emanating from him. Such Zeng Yi seemed so unfamiliar.

Why does this guy have such a strong killing intent?

Flender couldn't help but frown, regretting a bit that he asked Zeng Yi to handle this matter.

"Hehe, fine! This big brother needs money to drink, so what are you waiting for? Take out all the money you have!" One of them, who seemed to be their leader, urged his two companions while searching his own pockets.

Upon hearing his big brother's words, the other two shuddered and immediately began searching their pockets.

"Hehe, sir, this is all we have on our bodies. Is this enough?" The leader of the gang had a fawning smile on his face as he looked at Zeng Yi, holding a pile of coins in his hands.

Zeng Yi roughly scanned the coins. There were more than 20 gold soul coins and more than 30 silver soul coins. Quite a lot of money.

He extended his hand and swiped the money in his hand. The leader of the gang felt the weight on his hand suddenly disappear, and when he looked, his hands were already empty.

It's a spatial spirit guide!

Having some knowledge, he was shocked again. People who have such magical objects are none other than those with prestigious status.

Really can't afford to provoke him!

"Alright, you can go now." Zeng Yi raised an eyebrow and said faintly.

Upon hearing these words, the three of them felt as if they had received a great favor, and an emotion of surviving a catastrophe surged in their hearts. They were extremely excited.

"Thank you, thank you! We will leave now." The three of them said in unison, and then they rushed away from the scene in a hasty manner.

Watching the three figures hurriedly leaving in disarray, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chuckle, finding it amusing.

"Hehe, it's settled! Let's go, I'll treat you to a good meal tonight."

After the troublemakers left, Zeng Yi put away his sword and his cold expression instantly changed into his usual appearance. He smiled at the three people.

The speed at which Zeng Yi changed his expression left the three speechless.

"Treating us to a meal with stolen money, how shameless!" Ning Rongrong scornfully said, feeling embarrassed to be involved in such an improper act.

"Are you being too excessive by doing this?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"Excessive?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zeng Yi couldn't help but find it funny.

"Do you still have sympathy for such people? Do you think a soul master who dares to harass people in public is a good person? What they dare to do is definitely not the first time. Killing such scum with one sword is not too much. Besides, I only took their money and gave them a little punishment. That's already quite merciful."

Zeng Yi said, "The hearts of people outside are more complex than you think."

Hearing Zeng Yi say this, Ning Rongrong fell silent.

"Indeed, Zeng Yi did well. Such people are not worthy of sympathy. Everything is their own fault." At this time, Flender spoke up. He had wandered in the world of soul masters when he was young and naturally knew the dangers involved.

"Let's go, let's find a shop to eat and rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we'll enter the Star Dou Forest." Flender said again, continuing to move forward.

After the incident just now, everyone on this street noticed this group of four and didn't dare to underestimate them. Combined with the deterrent power of Zeng Yi's sword, those men kept their eyes to themselves and didn't dare to glance at the two girls in the group. This situation made the two girls feel much more comfortable.

Walking on the road, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes remained fixed on the sword at Zeng Yi's waist. She was still shocked by the power of Zeng Yi's sword just now.

"Zeng Yi, how do you manage to unleash a sword aura just by using your sword?" Zhu Zhuqing could no longer contain her curiosity and asked Zeng Yi. From Zeng Yi's sword just now, Zhu Zhuqing did not perceive any fluctuation of soul power emitted by Zeng Yi. That sword was purely driven by pure sword technique.

And now, she could only use her soul power to unleash sword aura.

Zhu Zhuqing's question made Flender and Ning Rongrong also curious.

Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing. Seeing her eyes fixed on him, filled with a strong desire for knowledge.

"Sword aura? That is a technique that can be used when one reaches a certain level of sword art cultivation."

"What level?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"The Realm of Sword Qi! You haven't even reached the Realm of Steel Cutting yet, so don't think too much about it. Keep practicing, with your talent, you will reach this level sooner or later."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist.

Zeng Yi had already told her about the Realm of Steel Cutting, and also taught her how to practice. But for her now, it was still a bit difficult to swing and cut hard steel.

"How long does it take for you to reach this level?" Ning Rongrong curiously asked.

Zeng Yi thought for a moment and said, "I think it took around four years."
